This is the room where the breaker and 100V transformer are located There are six transformers. Each room has its own 100V outlet.
In the middle is the manual switch between the newly installed commercial power source and generator. It's very low tech, but there is a slide bar so that only one of the breakers goes on. 3980 pesos (7960 yen)
The black box below contains a buzzer to indicate that commercial power has been restored If you drop the main breaker, you won't notice the duplicate power, so I made my own. When electricity comes on, a buzzer goes off, and when the red button is pressed, a relay latches and the buzzer stops. The meter next to it is an oscillating type frequency meter dedicated to 60 Hz. I bought it from the USA on Ebay.
This is our outlet (outlet) Horizontal orientation is the Philippine way of installation Japanese people feel uncomfortable unless they are facing upright, so 100V outlets are made vertically. There's a sticker on the plate to make sure you don't plug it in wrong, and all the plugs have a red or green sticker on them, too.
3KW generator that we have been using until now. I've used it so much that I've had it broken and repaired many times.
And a 50 KVA generator is supposed to arrive this week! The price is 480,000 pesos (960,000 yen) I got a little excited, so I decided to forgo the automatic start/stop device this time. And the car lifter that was to be installed in the car repair shop was also sent off.
I measured the electricity usage in the house with a clamp meter, roughly 25A (excluding the hot water heater). 220V*25A=5.5KW Even if we double the estimated starting current of motors such as air conditioners and well pump refrigerators, it will be less than 10KW, so it will be a generator with plenty of power to spare!
Price.£485.00So, in Japanese yen.64,659 yen(32329 pesos), so if you save up a little money, you can buy it! It costs 85,000 pesos (170,000 yen) to buy from a company in the Philippines!
